Tsk …
Daydreaming isn't considered a skill. If you're really capable, you should express your feelings to the lord.
Feng Zhen shook his head and pushed the drunk Wei Ci to the side, continuing to drink with the others.
On the other side, the newlyweds in the bridal room were so nervous that their palms were sweating.
The two of them drank the nuptial wine, not daring to look at each other for a long time, as if one more look would set them on fire.
Shangguan Wan stammered to find a topic, suddenly remembering Jiang Pengji's "mysterious gift."
Liyun's mind was filled with thoughts of his sweetheart, how would he have the time to be curious about the guest's gift?
"… Wan, Wan 'er … it's getting late, why don't we rest early?"
Every minute of the night was worth a thousand pieces of gold, it couldn't be wasted.
"… Okay."
Her voice was like the buzz of a mosquito, as light as a swan feather, but it was heavenly music to Liyun's ears. He couldn't help but carry her in his arms.
Not long after, unbearable panting could be heard in the dimly lit bridal room.
The next day, the bride served tea.
Looking at his married son, Xie Qian's heart was filled with emotions.
Jiang Pengji considerately gave the young couple a wedding leave, letting them be lovey-dovey.
Shangguan Wan was still thinking about the "mysterious gift" Jiang Pengji mentioned, and Liyun was happy to open the gift with her.
"Is this the gift from Lanting?"
Shangguan Wan looked at the square box in front of her, it was the size of two men's palms.
"Look at the stick on it, this should be the gift the lord mentioned. Open it and take a look."
Liyun smiled as he opened the gift.
When he opened the box and saw what was inside, the two newlyweds turned pale. Shangguan Wan was so shocked that she took half a step back.
There was nothing else in the box, only an urn made of cinerary ash!
A newlyweds giving an urn?
"This is definitely not Lanting's doing!" Shangguan Wan snapped out of her trance and said firmly, "Who packed the gift yesterday?"
Someone must have changed Brother Lanting's gift to create a rift between Hanmei and the lord.
Liyun's joy faded slightly. He hesitated for a moment, then lifted his hand to open the urn's lid. It was filled with white powder. He moved closer to smell it, it was indeed human ashes and not powder of similar color … Who was so evil?
"Hanmei, there's a note here …"
The paper was made of high-quality Xuan paper.
Most of the improved paper was supplied to Cheng Cheng's bookstore, and the rest was supplied to the district headquarters.
Liyun was reminded by Shangguan Wan. He raised his hand to stop his newlywed wife from touching the unlucky ashes of a stranger.
He stretched out two fingers, picked up the slip of paper, and slowly unfolded it.
"This is Lanting's handwriting …" Shangguan Wan worked as a clerk in the district headquarters, so she was very familiar with Jiang Pengji's handwriting. She read out the words on the note. "This is the ashes of the evildoer from Zhongzhao, who killed Hanmei's mother. Today, I present it to congratulate you on your wedding. "
Shangguan Wan was taken aback. She looked up at Li Yun.
His young and handsome face was full of forbearance and restraint, only his eyes were slightly red.
"Hanmei?"
As if awakened from a dream, Liyun hurriedly covered the urn and carried it to look for Xie Qian.
Xie Qian was still in a daze in the main hall, reminiscing about his late wife.
If it weren't for that evildoer's possession, perhaps today, his deceased wife would also be able to drink the tea served by the new bride.
Just as he was feeling sad, his mischievous child ran over in a hurry, carrying a urn of ashes.
Xie Qian's expression was unbearable.
This mischievous child, of all things, was he playing with an urn of ashes?
Who did he want to curse to die?
Before Xie Qian could react, Liyun carried the urn of ashes and knelt down in front of him.
"What is this?"
Xie Qian felt like he was about to have a stroke. He was infuriated by his mischievous child.
"Father, the lord said that this is the enemy who killed my birth mother."
"What!"
Xie Qian couldn't react for a moment. His expression changed, but his brain couldn't react at all.
Suddenly, Xie Qian thought of the yin-yang jade pendant that Jiang Pengji had borrowed for "two days". He didn't know what to feel.
He hoped that the ashes belonged to that evildoer, but he was also suspicious of the truth.
Xie Qian couldn't be blamed for his suspicions. No matter who it was, everyone would have their suspicions.
The enemy who had been gnashing his teeth for close to twenty years was killed so easily?
"Hanmei, put it away. Father wants to go and ask about it. If it's true … your mother's spirit in heaven can rest in peace. "
Liyun nodded heavily.
Xie Qian hurriedly went to look for Jiang Pengji. She seemed to be prepared and wasn't surprised by his arrival.
"That evildoer … was really executed?"
Xie Qian couldn't believe it. The hatred that had been in his heart for so many years was easily resolved.
Jiang Pengji said, "Of course it's true. I'll tell you about that evildoer's appearance and characteristics, then you'll know if it's true or not."
She had a very good memory. Not to mention people she had met several times, even if she had only seen them once, she could still describe the person's appearance and characteristics.
Xie Qian became more agitated as he listened. In the end, he fell to the ground and burst into tears, unable to control himself.
Jiang Pengji waited for Xie Qian's emotions to calm down, then said hesitantly, "There's something that's hard to say …"
Xie Qian's eyes were red. He gritted his teeth and said, "Magistrate Liu, please say it. If there's anything I can help with, Xie Shaohe is willing to go through water and tread on fire for you."
"It's not a big deal. It's just that this jade pendant is of some use to me. I wonder if you're willing to part with it? "
Previously, she said she would borrow it for two days, but she shamelessly borrowed it for half a month. Luckily, Xie Qian didn't ask for it from her.
Xie Qian thought it was something big.
To Xie Qian, this jade pendant was a locator to locate his enemy.
Now that his enemy had been reduced to ashes, the Yin Yang Jade Pendant had no other use for him.
Jiang Pengji asked him for this useless jade pendant. Of course, he wouldn't refuse.
"Thank you. This thing is of great use to me."
As for what use it was, Jiang Pengji didn't reveal anything to Xie Qian.
As a considerate lord, Jiang Pengji gave Li Yun and his wife half a month off from their wedding.
It wasn't until Chongzhou sent an urgent letter that she summoned Li Yun and Shangguan Wan back.
At that moment, Wei Ci had already returned to Shangjing to continue supervising the construction of the provincial government.
Jiang Pengji summoned all the people who were left behind to the government office and announced something to them.
"Father plans to retire behind the scenes. I'll take over Chongzhou and Hu County."
When Qiguan Rang heard this, he stopped waving his feather fan.
His lord's efficiency was indescribable, but …
He looked around and couldn't bear to look straight at the scene. He moved his feather fan higher and blocked his eyes.
The group of military officials looked confused. They couldn't react to what had happened.
The rest of the civil officials looked as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing. Oh my god!
Someone's going to die!
They already felt that they were too busy to manage such a large Wanzhou. It wasn't easy for everything to be on the right track, and the lord's territory had suddenly expanded.
There was an extreme lack of capable people!
Especially Yang Si. He felt his vision go black and his soul almost left his body.
She had finally finished her official duties in other places and wanted to come back for a breather. She was stunned by the news before she could even sit down.
"Why … is it so sudden?"
Jiang Pengji said, "It's better to be prepared in advance."
Their opponent was the North borderline. If they didn't make preparations, sooner or later they would fail miserably.
Yang Si said with some difficulty, "But Chongzhou and Hu County … I'm afraid it won't be easy to intervene."
Liu She had managed Chongzhou for four to five years and Hu County for more than ten years.
The people under him might not be willing to listen to Jiang Pengji.
"Even if it's not easy to intervene, we have to intervene. Whoever dares to resist, we'll just find a reason to get rid of them."
Jiang Pengji's gaze was somewhat fierce.
There was no second person who would dare to take the lead in resisting and looking for trouble.
